Great location
Location was great, beds not the most comfortable. Coffee supplied with basic glasses/dishes. Hot shower was great! Nice sitting area to relax with friends
Great location. Place was clean.
Unfortunately the washer didn’t work and was told it wasn’t a current option to use
The property manager only communicates through WhatsApp which you don’t know until he doesn’t reply to any emails and you finally call and it’s on his voicemail. He was very attentive once we communicated via WhatsApp. Download the app and don’t expect to use wash machine and after that you have a great place to stay. Our unit did have small steps to go up and down to get into the place.
We loved the clean, updated modern house. We wished there was a lock box w/ key to check in instead of having to coordinate a time w/ the host because our phones did not work internationally. The property manager/host was very kind and helpful though! We would stay here again.
Garda House was a lovely place to stay in Kinsale - our host did a great job of meeting us and getting us settled and knowing where everything was. We had the downstairs unit - The two bedrooms were neat and clean and the common area was just right, and the bathroom was modern and clean (though a little small). Plus having parking in a lot immediately connected to the back of the unit was great for loading and unloading, as parking is a premium in this area due to narrow streets. Only drawbacks: the wifi never worked properly for us, and the washer/dryer was temporarily out of commission and we were planning on using it. And we could hear the upstairs people late into the night. But if the wifi was working, I'd totally stay here again - it's right in town and an easy walk to anywhere!
Fantastic location in the heart of Kinsale. The apartment was updated to the highest specifications. Would definitely stay at the Garda House again.

Disliked: Staff & service
Not good enough!
Great location and good for longer stay but so overpriced! Woman managing the property was rude and shouted at us when we told her we wanted to check in at 17.15! Apparently she had three other properties to manage that took priority. Not the irish way I’m afraid, very inappropriate behaviour and not what you expect in a tourist town. Apartment was clean but open food packets from previous guests and used hand soap in bathroom. Plenty of nicer places to stay in Kinsale with amazing customer service!
